LET'S PARTY!
premise | rules | taken | pick-up

A. Arrivals and Much More

You’re here because you were dropped somewhere that tried sending you home, or you're someone with a call to the heart to explore the vast universe. The buses run at odd schedules, so please pardon any interruptions! I hope you fellas make yourselves at home, here!

[ Marjorie’s whole speech rings through your ears as you begin to explore the area. It seems a few people who arrived on the TDM have already been here for a week, but you’re just a newcomer. So where are you when this all went down? Are you trying to get back on a bus that’ll take you home, or…?

B. Home Sweet Home

[ The dust has settled on the bus ride here, and you can’t help but notice that your farmland… well, it’s a mess. Rocks and grass everywhere, no matter which layout you were set with. You were given a set of tools, and the message that this land is yours to shape or change or build on no matter what you want, so long as it’s yours. The little crate by the edge of the house is what will hold your bounties from farming, collected nightly with money delivered to your mailbox the following day, like some kind of Produce Fairy visited.

The house is in alright shape. It’s not brilliant, but it has a kitchen, a bathroom, and a studio bedroom where all your belongings can be. It’s wide enough to accommodate several things until you upgrade it.

Sometimes you see a stray dog or cat at the edge of your property. Do you adopt it?

Anyway, it’s time to make what you will of your farm. ]

The Last Day Of
The Stardrop Celebration!
FESTIVAL PLAYLIST

[ Down a hill a little ways from Pelican Town is a remarkable festival set-up! Several attractions and vendors line the streets where everything is going down. Where will you go? ]

C. Food Stalls

[ Surrounding the entire property are dozens of food stalls, from all around the universe. Marjorie bussed in caterers from all around with a healthy sum of gold, and they’re happy to sell their wares in this strange place tonight. Where you might find octopus balls, you’ll also find kraken balls. Where you might find corndogs, you’ll find dogs selling corn.

It’s a veritable buffet! And the gold you’ve started with is more than enough to go shopping for food. Have fun! ]

D. Games

[ All manners of Carnival Games are set up! From throwing a baseball at bottles to catching goldfish with a paper net, everything you can dream of is here. There are even some unorthodox games, like dance-offs, karaoke, and a little bit of everything. Apparently, the NPC couldn’t choose who to go with what. It definitely makes for a big festival.

In addition to the above, there’s water gun races, squeaky duck ponds, skee-ball, target shooting, test your strength with a hammer, pitching speed, shooting hoops… and more! ]

E. Three-legged Race

[ You didn’t think this festival was going to go by without tomfoolery, did you? For the prize of 1,000 Gold, you can rally up a partner and get tied to them by the ankle, participating in a no-rules no-bars-held race. The winners will be randomized! But the real gift is going to be the fact that the ties around your ankles? Aren’t coming undone. You’re going to have to be tied together until 11 PM! ]

F. Fireworks

[ Errant magic and mishaps aside, you have to admit, the fireworks show at the end of it all is really something. Marjorie hired a pony for them, and the lights are as ethereal as they are non-traditional. It’s a good moment to snuggle up to someone or enjoy company with a new friend. ]

G. Wildcard

[ Exactly what it says! Make your own prompt. ]

[ OOC; Hello, everyone! This community is L I V E, from now on, you can make both network and action posts on this community, as well as use the notice board pinned to the top of the community! You're also welcome to make IC inboxes for one on one conversation and messaging! We hope you enjoy the community and if you need anything, please leave a note on the contact page! Thank you!

People who want to keep their CR from the test drive; you may! Your characters just arrived a little earlier than others! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Tori turns to face whoever tapped her on the shoulder, but she already knows who it is by the time she does due to the voice.

"Q'uila! Fancy running into you again," she says with a grin. "I'm just enjoying some curry! ...not sure what kind, I didn't really think to ask. As long as it's spicy, it doesn't really matter to me, and it's definitely got a kick~"

She takes a moment to laugh before continuing. "I didn't get it far from here. I can show you where, if you want!"

"Oh, Tori!" Q'uila chirps happily. "If you could show my where you got that I would be ever in your debt, that curry smells divine!"

Settling of with Tori Q'uila spoke, head still swivelling around as she tried to catch all of the scents filling the festival grounds, "So what do you think of the celebration?"

"It would be my pleasure!" With a grin on her face, Tori turns to lead Q'uila in the direction of where she found the curry she's enjoying so much.

"The celebration is pretty nice," she answers. "I'm actually a little sad that it ends after today, you know? It's been a nice way to take a break from farm stuff."

Q'uila nods in agreement, "It's been a while since I've been to a good celebration, not since last All Saint's Wake. I'll be sad when it's gone as well."

Q'uila sniffs, "Everything smells so good, its a bit overwhelming to my nose."

"All Saint's Wake?" Tori asks, lifting her eyebrow in curiosity. "What's that celebration about?"

She laughs a little. "Yeah, I can understand that. It's a little overwhelming for mine too." Right after she says that, she stops in her tracks, as they've reached the right stall. "Ah, here we are~!"

"It's a celebration based on the legend that our gods, the Twelve, honour the saints by throwing them a party in the celestial realm. When this happens the Voidsent emerge and create mischief. People celebrate by feasting and playing harmless tricks on each other. It's always a fun time."

Q'uila's ears and tail twitch as Tori leads her up to the stall. "Gods..." She stares at at the stall owner. "I'll take two."

Unsure of how to feel about the talk of gods, Tori instead focuses on some of the other details Q'uila presents about this celebration. "Harmless tricks, huh? Sounds similar to a holiday back in my world, which is always pretty fun too."

Tori can't quite help the grin of delight at Q'uila making two orders of curry. Someone sharing her enthusiasm over the dish is always welcome. "I'll take another order too," she informs the stall owner.

"Oh! What's that holiday about?"

Q'uila is practically drooling over the curry as she pays and wastes no time sampling it. One bite has Q'uila's moaning in delight, fur fluffing up as her tail curls happily. "Holy shit this is amazing! This would give Ul'Dahn and Ala Mhigan curry a run for its money!"

"Traditionally, it starts off a three-day period of remembering the dead," Tori explains. "These days, it's more about stuff like playing pranks like I mentioned before, going to parties, carving up pumpkins, watching scary films and going to places people say are 'haunted'... oh, and dressing up in costumes and going door to door for candy, if you're lucky enough to still be a kid." She laughs. "Of course, adults dress up in costumes for their parties too~"

Q'uila's reaction is one Tori more than appreciates, being a huge curry enthusiast herself. "Right?! It's so damn good! Gives all the best curries I've had at home a run for their money too. I really have to wonder which world this is from, you know?"
